Snap-On used to make a small enough box-end with a 3/8" square on the opposite end that would fit on a torque wrench for tightening head and base bolts. here's a pic of the 2 of them. I had to belt-sand some stock off the end of the 5/8" one to tighten the base bots on a '38 13 fin cylinder. Other than that, and the fact that on some of the head bolts you have to 'flip' the torque wrench and turn counter-clockwise, these have worked well for me.

You can buy these as a set of about 8 wrenches of different sizes.
These can also be used with a short length of hex key to torque socket head bolts.

Omarttentmaker,
Thanks..having spent many hours wishing & drooling in SnapOn trucks when the stuff was made in the USA I seem to remember seeing these.
The pics will help locate them somewhere.
