According to the WW Directory Vol.1 George Baker's Sky Fury now "Southern Cross" would probably be the first 3350 conversion. According to that the work was done around 87. Cottonmouth wasn't owned by Jerry Janes until August 87 and her Centaraus failed before Jane's went with the 3350 so I figure her change didn't occur until 90 or so.
"Blind Man's Bluff/Critical Mass" was owned by Window Magic of Arizona from 84 to 88 so the idea may have been in place but I don't thing the actual installation was performed that early. Although, it wouldn't surprise me because she did come out of the shop with an A-26 cowling instead of being fitted under the stock "hood". This may have been because it was easier for the air racing mission. I'm not really sure.
Any other ideas?
