A 3-cyl out of a Chevy Metro would be pretty insane, even with a turbo it would still be overkill into a Windstar
Unless you could get that Euro-spec Volkswagen 1.2TFSI I wouldn't recommend you to get a 3-cyl gasser into the Windstar.

The Duratec 2.3 out of a Fusion could be a good option, already bolted to an automatic transmission if your wife wouldn't drive with a manual transmission.

What about a small diesel? Find a wrecked TDI or something?

A small Diesel would be the best option, if you could get a wrecked Passat TDI already fitted with an automatic. Or if you could mess with the electronics and the torque converter of the stock transmission, a Kubota V-2203 can be had for cheap, retrofitted with a random small turbocharger and still provide decent performance with fuel savings. The ability to run on some alternative fuels such as waste vegetable oil is also a good reason to get a Diesel
