Brought the Jeep pickup home today

[oconner_us@xxxxxxxxx]

1968 Jeep pickup. Badges on the side say J3000. There are some pictures of it here http://groups.msn.com/JustCarJunk/1968jeeppickup.msnw . 

Can anyone help identify the engine? as I mentioned before, I was told it was an AMC 232. Here are all of the numbers on the block. On the left side it has GWC then 0256 then below that it has 3181884 and then T112 (some of the numbers may be wrong, a couple were hard to read). then on the right side, just below the spark plugs it has, as well as I could read the numbers, 804129. I found a receipt in the glove box that indicates that this motor was rebuilt by Ram Engine some time in the past but I have found a date on the receipt. 

It has an odd oil filter. There is some kind of adaptor screwed on where the oil filter would normally go and the a hose runs from that to a canister on the fender (there is a picture of that on that site) that says Frantz Oil Cleaner. There is another hose that runs from that canister to the valve cover. I have never seen a setup like this before. 

It currently has a 3 speed tranny and shiftable 4 wheel drive but rather than a single lever (like my wagoneer had) it has 2 levers. 

I haven't decided yet if I am going to keep it or sell it. The nose is pretty banged up. I saved the nose off the 66 wagoneer, was thinking I might stick that on there. The frame is bent toward the left side (both sides). It appears to be just in front of where the front axle is mounted. Any ideas to fix this?
