FYI...a little follow up....thanks for the advice, anyway, I called Del Air, and it's pretty tough to get a straight answer out of the guy, but he will "work with me". Of course it depends on who did the conversion, which I don't know yet, if we have the blueprints, etc. He mentioned 3 key components: the spiiner, exhaust system, and carb induction. Also the nose cowl on the Avcon is different than the Del air/ATC. He suggested I get friendly with an IA, why I'm not sure, and frankly I was a bit confused at this point. I think I will try to get the plane at a good price, then worry about the STC. That may be going about it the wrong way. Any advice/other considerations to take with me when I go look at it would be appreciated.
