Perry-My SPF only had two metric hex head bolts and nuts holding the park brake rotor to the pinion flange when delivered-no allen head bolts. The tool needed would depend if the original installer used metric fasteners to bolt up the driveshaft. If metric, probably a 10 MM hex. Standard would probably be 3/8" hex.

FYI-if your SPF has the park brake setup on the differential pinion flange, those Ford N800594-S100 bolts won't work-they are too short.

If you already have the tunnel out, and have an engine "tilter", installing the engine/trans as a unit will probably be easier than wrestling with that trans separately. That's how I did mine last weekend. If you do install the engine/trans together as a unit, have the driveshaft in place before you lower everything all the way in-that will save you some time.
