Try using a constant elasticity of substitution function (you'll need two,
one for each output). There's lots of stuff about CES on the web. The 
assumptions you used (fixed factor proportions, i.e. you can't substitute 
labor for capital or vice versa) are a subset of CES.
With CES you can adjust the elasticity of subsitution (from zero to 
infinite) to see how it affects your results.
