I'm very doubtful of this, the FAA will not certify it if thats the case due to the 737 cockpit being designed in the 1960s with no EICAS. Not to mention Boeing has spent untold amounts of money on human factors research when developing every clean sheet airplane from the 757/767 onward, it would be incredibly dumb to stick with the switch layout on the overhead for example when they have far better panel designs.
