Perhaps you are thinking of the twin Bristol-Siddeley Orpheus engined prototype of the Lockheed Jetstar. The engines were rear mounted though.

The Orpheus was one of the selected engines .............................but the RB162 was selected for it's thrust to weight ratio and the Orpheus was dropped because it was heavy and less thrusty!!!
