I "traded" my FFR for a BDR. I think I liked my FFR better.

Inspect the BDR body very carefully. Mine had a number of errors that were very expensive to fix.

It does come with a hard fuel line. ONE fuel line. And it's too small for the 7.2L engine. You can use that for a return line.

Opt for the EFI aluminum gas tank. It's pre cut for the Tanks Inc fuel pump.

The wiring harness is your basic chassis harness. There are no provisions for EFI. I even had to run another wire for the electric fuel pump. I'm not sure what the factory 7.2L harness is like. But adapting my factory Coyote harness to the BDR was a nightmare.

BDR used to come with an E-36 rear end. Now they use a late model Ford 8.8.

The same thing with the front suspension. Used to be all E-36. But now it's coil overs. Which I think is an improvement. The basic power brakes are just OK. Consider upgrading to Wilwoods.

The factory low back seats were very uncomfortable. I immediately replaced mine.
