Default Flipped my Jeep, now making it strictly off road.

A few days ago this jeep was hit on the right rear part of the bumper buy an old lady who keep going. the jeep came around hit a side walk and it rolled over(Goin about 35 MPH). my girlfriends 17 year old brother was the driver. Thanks to jeeps design he and his passenger walked away with out a single scratch. It spent about 30 mins on its roof. I plan on cutting the roof, removing the doors, builda cage and just use it in the woods. I was wondering what kinda things i have to do to make sure the engine will be ok. I started it for about 3 mins and it seems to run fine. Lil white smoke but i dont want to run it till i change oil and listen to you guys. This is my first jeep. Its a 1996 Classic. Ty let me know.
