Different engines possible?

Just wondering if anyone has a 337 with a different engine (horsepower-wise) front and back?

Unlike a conventional twin, where such a thing would always generate yaw when you maxed the throttles at take-off, the 337 has no such problems.

I suppose I'm thinking long term, here. When one engine gets totally run out, you could replace it with something that has more oomph. Heck, maybe even a 3-blade on one end while the other fan only turns a 2-blade!

If you wanted to get really froggy, and didn't mind tinkering with the fuel system, you could even have one running on diesel (once the DeltaHawk thing gets STC'ed) and one on AvGas! Just make sure the line guy doesn't screw THAT fuelling up.

So...anyone got a 337 with different horsey engines? How well does it work?
