I have been thinking that it would be cool to refit an old 337 with
twin jet engines mounted in place of the rear engine with snorkles for
the intakes and a nose extension fairing in place of the front engine
for drag reduction and CG adjustment. Given the advances in small jet
engines in recent years, this might be feasible. Imagine the rate of
climb you would get. You could run the throttles at a modest setting
for cruise.

There is an experimental aircraft for you!

Looking at the design of the C377, it seems like it should have been more of
a winner. Why did it flop?
