Nick, I'm not certain, but I know the mounting clip setup is different. Since PPV & G8 (L76/L77) are basically the same, the G8 cover will fit....I would have to check to see if the GXP cover may be different (for LS3).

The Camaro L99/LS3 external piping and accessory drive "dress" may be a little different, but again, I'm not certain if the cover mounting allows it to work on L77, based on fuel rail configuration. The Camaro cover hides the PS reservoir access--if it fits, cover may need to be removed to check PS fluid. The G8 cover provides an access to the PS reservoir cap.

PN 92246784 (cheap!) - a couple more small items may be needed

PN 92068791 (NOT cheap!) - notes imply same cover is used on both L76 & LS3 - again, not certain

No it won't fit. I bought a Camaro engine cover for another car and checked to see if it would fit the Caprice. It doesn't fit. The Pontiac G8 engine cover will though.
