The 3.0 you want is the 24valve SOHC version, came in the 00+ Eclipse and Stratus. 200hp, and it's a fairly simple swap. I don't think the 3.0MMC would fit under an Avenger hood with the factory intake setup.
Swapping in a A543 tranny is POSSIBLE, but the Eclipse 5-speed trans would be a hell of a lot easier, and it's already been done a few times. The 543 uses a cable clutch, and the Avenger platform is designed for a hydraulic clutch. Routing the cable would require some MAJOR work to the underdash area, plus all the fun of getting a set of pedals that would work. Throw in the fact that the cable would have to make some fairly tight turns to get around the strut tower, if it's even possible. With the Eclipse trans, none of that is an issue, you just grab the pedals and hydraulic slave cylinder set-up from an Eclipse or 4cyl/5-speed Avenger.
