What does a chevrolet cast iron powerglide transmission weight?

I have read that the cast iron case added 150 pounds to the Powerglide transmission, and I have also read that the aluminum Powerglide weighs about 95 pounds, complete. I have moved an aluminum Powerglide by hand, and that sounds about right. Based upon these two statements, the cast Iron Powerglide should weigh about 245 pounds...

What GM products did the 2 speed powerglide come in?

Chevrolet & Pontiac were the only brands to use to Powerglide. The rear engine Corvair used a modified Powerglide. Pontiac used a similar transmission in the Tempest although it was called a TempesTorque'. Some sources claim Pontiac and Oldsmobile used the older, cast-iron case Powerglide when the Hydromatic transmission plant burned in '53. Most if not all Pontiacs of the '60's and '70's that have a two-speed automatic transmission do NOT have a Powerglide; they have a Turbo-Hydramatic model 300 transmission; also used by Oldsmobile.
