For those of you too young to remember in the early 1950's before Alaska was given statehood there was only 48 states. After Alaska made statehood we referred to the original 48 states as the lower 48. Not really all that complicated. Love the work on the Bomber.

Flipping the differential will work fine. Gears get "splash" lubricated from the ring gear slinging oil, like in a manual transmission. Your solution for inlet and outlet may come back to bite you. Oil will loosen your silicone plug. A more permanent solution would be to tap the hole for pipe thread and install a pipe plug. The lower 48 refers to the continental US.

[@russlehman2070]

Since I heard a reference to the 49th parallel slip into that conversation, I think they know that and are just having a little fun with it. Much of the border between Canada and the lower 48 follows the 49th parallel.

[@stevehoward8322]

Matt, if you use a product called Power Punch gear additive, the oil will climb up the ring gear and follow the pinion back and lubricate the pinion bearings when you travel. It has molly in it which fills the micro pits and makes the gears last longer. Great in transfer cases too

[@NT5RA_Still_Learning]

OK, Matt, you got me. :) I'll take the bait. Two terms that are roughly synonymous: "Lower 48" and "CONUS" Lower 48 refers to the 48 states of the USA excluding Alaska and Hawaii. CONUS or Continental US refers to the 48 states of the USA excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and also excluding various territories like Puerto Rico. I'm not going to go into the various usages nor history behind the terms, but perhaps the most common usage is in the context of shipping cost. You will often see statements like, "Free shipping to the Lower 48," or a price breakdown that lists one cost for the Lower 48 and another higher cost for other locations. That's because a typical item can be shipped by ground to any of the Lower 48 or Continental US, and ground shipping is usually cheapest. Shipping outside of the Lower 48 or CONUS is going to involve other more expensive shipping methods such as air or sea, or via other countries (you have to leave the USA and go through Canada to drive from Washington State to Alaska). Great videos! Thanks for all you do!

Great fabrication, great banter, great camera work, great editing, and great project. I'd say it's pretty great

[@Doubie.]

Given that engine placement you might want to look at a clear view filtration remote oil filter and a no spill system oil drain plus given its for matt maybe a bypass filtration system so when he doesn’t change the oil for long periods of time the oil is still clean

[@stevejette2329]

At 23:00, what is the purpose of the little square plate with holes in the corner ? It's a Barnes product. Maybe for fuel pump change type thing ?

[@Ty-bz7zx]

Oil doesn't matter at all. Not when it sits out of gas on the trail. =))

[@IcedragonofSolitude]

@@stevejette2329 I believe it's a plate that bolts up to the original engine mount spots, to make it easier to fabricate a custom mount.

Coming along great!! Maybe some Jet boat style headers would work? Rhett is doing a great job!!

[@garychristison763]

The weekend they are using the offroad wrecker at the rodeo has to be one of MORR's busiest weekends. Kudos to Matt for thinking of community first and figuring he can handle off road recoveries during that period with other assets.

[@marvincarter870]

Matt is an expert at measuring, fabing all the different parts and assembles and it works awesome! The Bombi will be so much better than it was on these recovery's. We love the way Matt's Recovery supports the community events. Nice to see Ed observing and Jaymie making her appearance. Rhett and Jake are really gaining in their experience at different projects.

I always thought the "lower 48" referred to the 48 states that touch another state. Number 49 and 50 that aren't attached to any others are Alaska and Hawaii. Love your show.

You would be correct. But Matt did give his misinformation like he knew what he was talking about.

I know you didn't say this about the fan but it reminded me of the number of times we had to explain that turning a right handed thread nut over does not make it a left hand thread LOL! With all that power the Bombi will be awesome! Enough power to get you in trouble so be careful!

Whenever I see you guys build stuff the quote "Nothing is a permanent as a temporary solution" comes to mind :D would look nice in the shop as a reminder. Keep up the great work!

[@3866TIM]

Glad we finally got the Lower FortyEight cleared up, I didn't think Matt was ever going to get it. :)

[@andytn6507]

It's too bad his explanation was incorrect. This is what it really means/came from. The term "lower 48" used when Hawaii is actually the southernmost state? Alaska was the 49th state. When Alaska became a state, there was "Alaska", and then "The lower 48". Hawaii wasn't a state at that time.

[@TurdJesus]

@@andytn6507Woosh!

[@sharlenerevels]

Google it Matt. The lower 48 is the states of the US not including Alaska and Hawaii. My name is Howard im 78 years young. I have been watching your youture for long time and love it. God bless you all.

The Bombi is so adorable I don't know how anyone can get any work done around it. I'm glad it's getting upgraded into a powerful beast to match its cuteness! 🥰

[@sandyposey8074]

I just can't tell you all how much I enjoy watching your channel! It gives me so much pleasure! I love Matt's sense of humor and everyone's cheery attitude!

[@harpo6203]

The visual effect that makes the fan appear to be going backwards is called frame count. Same affect was visible in spoked wheels in old westerns. And Matt is absolutely correct in having the fan blow to the rear so as to stop dust and snow from clogging the radiator.

[@trif55]

yea it's a sensible design, only issue that specific fan is designed to spin the other way, they'd be better getting a fan optimised for spinning in reverse

[@brianscott9861]

I love all your videos, love your vehicles, but the Morvair is badass. I absolutely love it. Very cool!!!

[@hanktownsend7911]

For the manifolds use turbo headers that are meant to come forward.

[@joshkoski537]

I learned the lower 48 being the 48 states a truck driver will drive without crossing borders.

[@edward3077ify]

I mean. Lets talk about the fact that they are working on this machine in the off season getting it ready for the upcoming season. Its a win!

[@josiatokirina1788]

It is so much fun watching all the creativity and craftsmanship and jovial team work as you rebuild the "Amazing Bombi"! Thank You for sharing all you do with us MORR Fans!

[@TheBnbonthebeach]

You can look at marine, dry exhaust headers for a V Dr. LS engine, which will give you the turnaround that you’re looking for

[@machine7767]

Use ARP studs or bolts for the exhaust manifold and you won't have to deal with broken off bolts again. Older LS engines came with a longer oil filter and newer ones a shorter filter. Be sure to use the longer Napa Platinum 41522 filter.
