nope, not even close. You should be able to tell that by just looking at the two and how different they are...
Sure, physically you could put it on there if you wanted, but that doesn't make it a good idea, it won't line up at all. The distinct body lines on the doors of the monte will have nothing to line up to on the malibu fenders. So sure, it probably is possible, but it will be comical how bad it will look...
I don't think the doors will open with that front end due to the body lines of the Monte. The 4 door and El Camino/Malibu all interchange because most share common door lines.
th answer you may be looking for is no, it is not a simple bolt-on swap, but with enough imagination, skill and talent, anything is possible. i personally wouldn't d it, but you're lso not asking t odo it to MY car!
if you're felingup to a challenge, give it a shot. but easy: it willnot be.

Re: malibu el camino front end and bumper on a 79 monte carl
I know im digging up old threads but this is kind of what I was wondering. My 78 monte is missing all rhe chrome pieces and the bumper is cracked. Can I jus switch out the bumpers? Has anyone ever done this? A buddie of mine says we could make it work but I was wondering if it was simple or if I will be putting alot of time into it.
