Hi Dale:

Sure can.

After talking with the Bilstein rep we were able to cross reference
KYB PN KG 5476 to Bilstein PN : B46-1738-H1.

The KYB PN is advertised as being the application for a LM front shock.

Bilstein shows this shock as used on Honda Passport and some Isuzus  
and Subarus.
Cannot verify at this time if it can be installed on a Corvair without  
modification to
any of the attach points.

Still looking for a rear shock to cross reference.
