For the TL motor BOLT HEADS use a THIN WALL double boxed 3/8 X 7/16 TWELVE point wrench. Mine is a craftsman 4-5/8 inches long. I just tried it on the BOTH bolt heads of my running 56 Exec and didn't even jack up the car. The OUTER bolt and nut closest tot he drivers rocker panel is a BREEZE.

The bolt head closest to the drive shaft will require a THIN WALL TWELVE POINT boxed end wrench. The NUTS are 1/2 inch. Try a THIN 1/2" OPEN end Tappet adjuster wrench on the very difficult nut. THat was the only one i didn't get to but could feel it with my finger.

NOTE: I did try a Craftsman STANDARD 7/16 12 point combination wrench on the INNER most bolt head. WIll NOT work. MUST have a THIN walled twelve point box for this one. Maybe take a standard box adn grind it down. The THIN walled 12 points are readily avaialable at tool stores etc.
