I have replaced every Malibu I have owned with a Cutlass top plate and shroud. I never liked the Chevrolet style shroud as it is prone to cracking and is flimsy. On my Malibus, I always used the stock hood. I just put a SBC in my Bonneville and used the Cutlass style shroud on it also. No clearance issues!

Since you've done this, how close is it ? Look at my photos. It looks like the shroud is just above the top of the fenders. I know the radiator support is original. What else can be different ? Or is it just the way it looks ?
Im going to hate to pull this crap apart again.

Honestly, the Cutlass V8 top plate and shroud will work on all Gbodys. Looks are deceptive. Your Malibu hood is not really flat. Carry on with confidence..

I'll take your word for it until I see for myself when I put the hood back on. I see you commented on this thread from a while ago. Im kinda curious how this worked out.

Monte and Malibu should be close to the same right ?
