Merlin powered P-38

Hear is a question I've all ways wanted to know. When us "Brits" got North American to put a Merlin into a P-51, it became one of the best fighters in the war. Why then didn't Lockheed take the hint and do the same with the P-38?.
Carrying this muse on a little could you imagine a P-38 with two Shackleton type Griffons in it!!!!!!!.
Just an idle thought that's all

(I've looked around on ther web for a P-38 lovers site to ask them the same question, but can't find one. Any body know one?)
