You would have to totally re-design the chassis and suspension in order for it to handle the way your're looking for.
The chassis would have to be designed for the engine to set back further to compensate for the ectra weight. Then your talking a beefy suspension to handle the added weight and traction problems you would have with all that torque.
I am not an engineer but that would be my guess as a start.
