You have slim to no chance of getting a torque wrench under $60 and if you did, I wouldn't trust its readings. If you have to borrow a nice one, do so, but its worth spending the $70-100 for a decent one. Tools are an investment

Lisle set? Where can you get that? I will need to disconnect mine pretty soon and I'd like to have the right tool.

Any ideas on where else to purchase the Liste tool. Does PepBoys or Checker Auto Parts carry them?

Taking off the fuel lines is just going to cost you time. Unbolt the rail, slide the wiring harness behind the intake manifold and shcrader valve, the move away. It will give you plenty of room to remove the intake.
