I recently found this on the Jakarta Soaring web page. Shows a highly modified 2-22 turned into a single-seat powered aircraft.

But why?

Back in the 90's there was a Breezy flying with 2-22 wings with a pusher engine at Dillingham in Hawaii. Frame was moly tubing, seating was tandem without anything except a seat and seat belt. Was built by Sam Bleadon. Indeed it was Breezy and felt like you were flying a broom stick. The main wing was well behind the pilot.
