 weekend. Thanks for any tips.

use a tow dolly..
is it a 4spd, non-syncro?  if so, and the tranny is full of gear oil, then
just throw it in neutral and it will be ok for 200 miles on a 2 wheel tow
dolly.  if its an auto, i would remove the driveshafts, or tow it backwards
and lock the strg wheel.
