Whats a good way to break bolts loose behind the motor?

[ChronoGN]

I'm doing a head gasket replacement and this is where I am stuck at. I pretty much got everything off except for the Lower Intake Manifolds, heads, and passenger side valve cover. I just can't get the bolts behind the motor loose since I can't fit my breaker bar back there. I'm talking about the ignition module bracket, and motor lifting mount thing thats blocking one of the valve cover bolts. Anybody have any good tips or tricks?

A wrench. Bout the only thing that will fit back there. Use a wrench, and a LOT of muscle.

Yes, thats exactly where I am at right now. Today, I tried doing it again with a wrench and I put a big socket over the wrench and extension on the end of it for torque and it still wont come loose. So, I put bunch of WD 40 on it and I'm gonna try it again tommorow.
