Why didn't the Cessna 337 make it?

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.
I'm waiting to see the real world numbers for the HondaJet - Plane and/or
engine.
Engine guys at Oshkosh said Honda was considering selling just the power
plant to others.
