Hod  different is the powerglide application (ie linkage, etc ) used in 
the  corvair to those in other early GM  vehicles?

I doubt if any part of a Corvair was used in any Powerglide other than the  
Corvair. They are both 2-speed automatics and are called Powerglides. That's  
about it. Indeed, there might be a small part or two used. But the Corvair PG  
was designed when the Big-car PG was cast Iron. The aluminum PG was not around 
 until 63 in the big cars. By the time of it's use and  adoption into the  
Chevy II, Chevelle, etc, (all Front engine cars) the Big car parts and  whole 
transmissions were available. By the mid-life of the Corvair - 65 - the  big 
cars were going to Turbo-Hydros, 3-speeds and no commonality, even in name,  with 
the Corvair. -Seth
