Maybe I am totally off tract here, so pardon me if that's the case. I currently only have a sinlge engine fixed gear, fixed prop land rating (for my Cessna 172 N).

Then I bought the 337. My insurance company stated that I had to fly 25 hours with my CFI to do the conversion to retract gear, variable prop settings and multi engine (in the 337). Bear in mind, I told them I was not interested in conventional twins at this time, I only want to fly my 337. After I have completed the 25 hours duo with my CFI, I have to fly my checkride in the 337.

That's it. That's all. They're happy. I'm happy. I realize I can not fly a conventional twin with this rating, but who cares? I love my 337.
