I found a guy who did some modifications to a 235 airframe.  He said that
Don Geotz did the test flying of the aircraft and the handling was Sweet.
The current owners of the airplane love it and it is much improved.  I dont
know how useful the mods would be if you are using a 235 engine but for 320
people it might be nice.
He said that he would be willing to document them if enough people were
willing to pay for the detail book. $50 each for the book.
Some of the mods include.

wing tips that give you better glide ratio, and faster cruise plus flush
mounted lights.  They look like the Legacy tips.

Stiffening the spar and tail section.

Wing root fairings

Lengthening the tail 8.5 inches to give you more stability like the larger
tail and enables the use of constant speed prop.

Lengthening the gear so it sits taller off the ground.
