The smallest engine you can put into a 1966 Mustang is the I-200 straight six cylinder.  In order to put in a 4 banger, you would have to change out the transmission and the rear end in order to accomodate the 4 banger.  With the changing out of the motor mounts, bellhousing, transmission and some alterations of the driveshaft and rear, you don't stand a chance of making any progress towards saving money in the cost of gas over the long haul.  Stick with the I-6 200

you can install a mustang 2 front end setup and run a 2.3 turbo or 2.3N/A but theres no fun in that

Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser.

----9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion from the court's refusal to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004)
