The H6 motor is good deal longer. I would guess that it would add about 100 lbs to the front of your car and would defintely change the handling characteristics of your car.

Or get a lighter bumper beam, lighter battery and ditch the U brace and you can take about 65lbs off the front without moving the battery.
