It's hard to imagine what they hoped to learn from a mash-up like this in 1975.  This is the sort of thing produced in the late 40's to gain experience with jet design and operations.  By 1975, that experience was widely available even if Beech didn't have it in-house.  To justify the expense of kluging this together, the lessons to be learned must have been tied to the King Air configuration or specific systems.
