Default Air filter assembly 88 Dakota 3.9

Has anybody swapped out the original air filter assembly on a 88 Dakota with a 3.9 V6? I am interested in "dressing up" under hood and thought about doing this.
My 88 Dakota 3.9 has a Holley TBI with two fuel injectors that sit in the throttle body.

Thanks!

Thought about it; didn't because the factory intake a) is a cold air ram intake already (look where it is and follow the tubing!) and b) it's also the cooling vent for the SMEC.

But.

It's a standard 2bbl throat size; should be easy enough to find one and put a nozzle on the bottom for the oil breather; or even use an open-air breather since the SMEC uses speed density.
