It will be just some tiny step from upgrading the 747-400 BCF plans to 747-8 BCF. And one day all 747-8 will be valuable for some cargo airlines. Just look at the second career of many formerly unwanted MD-11 for comparison. There are just 36 747-8i operated by airlines. That does not compare in numbers to 747-400, DC10 or MD-11 passenger frames. I would believe that we are not talking about a tiny step from a 747-400BCF to a 747-8iBCF, quite a bit of change from the 747-400 to the 747-8.

There is a difference. In this Boeing test, not only the door was tested, but the fuselage as a whole. I assume they have to repair and reinforce the door to be able to redo the test. I think it was not even the all around test, with load on the wing and so on, but only the pressure test for the fuselage. It has been reported that it failed in the "final" test, so I guess that is the all around test with wing over loading and pressure test at the same time ? It seems to be "different" information around the net. You could well be right.
