Air Cleaner Assy. from Truck??

Will the air cleaner assembly from a truck fit our TBI cars? I'm asking because some of them are taller and have a big ol snorkel compared to the stock unit. I'm guessing the height of it might get in the way but I'm not sure.
I know of the open element thing but I want a stock (and legal) look to the engine, the dual snorkel setup..but it's kinda pricey, and the make your own dual snorkel....but I'd rather shell out the cash for a factory one than have a sloppy looking setup(because of me, not the idea).

I dunno if you can put it on and keep the stock heat riser but I've seen people use the lid. and also tack weld the truck snorkle on to make a mismatched dual snorkle. One giant truck snorkle and the tiny L03 snorkel.

Dude, you should just do the open element instead. Your car will sound and feel much quicker. Then put on the stock breather when you have to get your emissions tested.
