Believe it or not, Matco makes what they call a "Hemi" wrench just for this. It is about 2 inches long and mounts to your toque wrench. You will have to use a correction factor to calculate the proper torque because the wrench alters the math. My engine builder did this upon final assembly so I can't give you the correct math right now. I'll try to get it from him.
