K47 Diesel intake

Has anyone experimented with using the air box from a 6.5 diesel with their swap? I don't want to have to relocate my battery since I didn't get any of the battery cables or starter wires with my engine, so I want to keep my battery where it is. It looks like it should work with minimal effort, but I don't have one on hand.

Here's a picture of the box.
