if its a manual then you should just be able to put the car in 4th gear and put on the e-brake and tighten away

Another cheap way... Pull #1 spark plug, rotate the engine to the compression stroke, stuff some rope into the plug hole, gently rotate the engine (by hand!) until it stops. Do your work. Now, back the engine up a 1/4 turn, pull the rope, reinstall the plug and have at it.
