Just make one. Cardboard works well. 90° is a right angle, so you shouldn't have a tough time figuring that. For more accuracy, you can use a protractor (or a little arithmetic). Cardboard works well because you can make a hole in it for your wrench. Keep it steady while turning (tape it in place or use a nearby bolt hole and a bolt, if needed), and it's just as good as any $100 tool. It isn't rocket science.

Or.....for $99.95, I'll send you one :D

Torque plate as in a plate that bolts up to simulate a torqued cyliner head yet allow honing of the cylinders in this state.
