Default Where to get TQ wrench with a degree gauge?

I see some of the bolts for the LS1/6 require and certain TQ and then so many degrees. Where can I get something to measure degrees?

Its not a special torque wrench, its an adapter you put on the torque wrench in between the wrench and the socket. You should be able to get them at any auto parts store. Its called a "Torque Angle Meter". I know Auto Zone carries them.

snap on sells one for around $40 that is just a manual dial. Craftsmen sells one for $120 something that shows the degrees on a digital screen. Go with the cheap one if you wont use it very often.

...or replace all your fasteners with ARP hardware and you won't have to worry about the torque angle BS.
