Cool, Roy! That'll give the ol' CJ a kick in the pants! ;D
Looks like it's coming apart quite well...

Looks good Roy!
You'll love a V8. What trans is in the good rig again? T18 iirc? Mine's 360/T18, you can pretty much put it in first and idle thru the trails.
Those Fram oil filters aren't the best, they have a rep for clogging, there is no bypass or something, can't remember exactly.
Have fun!

Car-Quest and NAPA filters are both made by Wik, one of the best.

I did the same thing one time, just grabbed it 'cause it was there on the shelf. I saw the oil gauge in my LJ drop to zero, and the 'check gauges' warning came on. Happened again the next day on way to get new filter.
Never again.

Frams have paper ends on the filter and are also known to have actual holes in the element from improper folding.
