the early fox mustangs did have the strait 6 in them because Ford ran out of the 2.8L V6 and had to put the 200 in as a replacement. The only problem with that is the whole front crossmember is different from the 2.3I4/2.8LV6/3.8LV6/302-5.0LV8's. So yes, you could put the inline 6 in but finding the crossmember could be difficult and the 200 I6 isn't really all that much better than the 2.3L strait 4. Go with another 4 banger or upgrade to the V8. It isn't that hard.
