Depending on the amount of weight increase, your handling will change dramatically. Read "Unsafe at any Speed" and see the comparison of the VW Beetle (very small and light engine) vs. the Corvair ( much heavier engine with longer overhang) which had a very bad handling problem in its 1962-1964 iteration. Like a hammer on a rollerskate. If you have an opportunity, see if you can find one that has already been altered and drive it. (if the owner will let you!!)
Other than that, it sounds interesting, although if I were to do such a hybrid, I would have chosen a 944/968.
