Thanks, I actually found that site last night because I was doing some googling. However I was already ordering stuff from Jegs and I figured it was easier to order everything from one place so there's less to track. If it turns out the one I ordered doesn't work I'll turn around and buy one that specifically states it fits a grand national/t-type or 442 rear.

Also I know it's personal taste but I really like the big cast in cooling fins, I don't know if they're really all that functional or if it's the least bit necessary, but it looks cool in my opinion, and should theoretically ad stiffness to the cover.

So which cover did you order?

Assuming the cover fits and you are running a rear sway you might have interference if it is the straight one.

I planned on using the sway bar that came with the rear, it looks basically exactly like the sway bar on the 7.5 inch rear you posted last night that bends down underneath the differential housing.

You should be fine, hopefully the cover fits.

Indeed, thanks I feel like it should, the whole BOP thing confused me, but it seems like it won't be an issue. However I guess I'll just have to wait and see. It's funny though if you put in your application as a GN on either site it says those covers won't work.

Probably no different than no aftermarket parts fitting a Cutlass Supreme.
