Default BVM F-86 conversion

I can buy an old BVM F-86 that's about 8 yrs old.
I have a 17 lb thrust engine I could use in it.
The BVM web site seems to indicate a 12 lb engine conversion kit for it.
Will the 17 lb engine fit?
How about wing loading and how do they fly with the bigger engine?
I'm sure I've heard of it being done before, but was wondering if it's a good idea.
Anything I should be aware of before I get into this project?

Thanks,

Pete
