I'm looking at buying a 1956 182 Skylane (not an A or B) that needs a complete restoration, though all the parts are there. It's been sitting for 16 years in a farm field & it'll cost more than it's worth to get flying again, I'm sure I'd like to do the TW conversion since we're looking at moving to an area where we can build a grass or gravel runway & the plane needs to come apart entirely anyway, but I can't find any info on the STC online (other than this thread).

Baer aviation. The original STC.

Here is a BCP thread from a decade ago. Note the complaints about Textron parts. This is towards the beginning of the predatory business model. I don't know how anyone could contemplate this project today.

Maybe the OP could take this fuselage and combined with his plane:
