Having not done it personally I cannot comment from experience, only from what I have seen and heard and I have seen at least one with a scoop which looked like it was needed for that exact purpose.
I own cars with both engines installed in the 123 chassis and I have not measured it but I will bet a beer that the 110 is equal or taller than the 617.
