My suggestion is as follows, pull vehicle to top of large hill ending
in abrupt cliff.
While inside vehicle have helper give vehicle solid shove to start down hill.
At speed attempt to engage engine.
Should that fail, attempt to engage brakes.
Should both fail you will not need to worry about

I push started cars before, using an old tire tied off in the trunk so it
hangs over the rear bumper. As long as the bumper height of the vehicles is
within a few inches, this works good. If you don't trust the brakes at all,
tie a sling or rope from the pusher to the pushee.

I'd fire her up, get her warmed up and change the oil. Might take a look at
the brakefluid. If you had diesel in the tank, a dose of algae killer will
be no waste.

Luther,
Here's what I would do: First I would remove the valve cover and drip oil
over all the cams and rocker arms. I read this in a MB manual somewhere. Then
I would run the starter with the GP relay disconnected until the oil pressure
needle started to rise. Then I would fire it
Glad to see you Jim!
