The 440-3 is the 4500 version of the 440-2.
Are you certain you're looking at a 440-3, and not a 440-3X?

I've never tried the SV on a BB mopar, so I can't say how it compares to the 440-3X on a big cube combo............ But I do like the 440-3X on the 540+ cube builds that are going for 800hp+ and plan on running 7000+ rpm.
They're good for an easy 900hp with nothing but a mild gasket match....... If the rest of the motor is up to it.
That being said, I wouldn't be looking for a big gain over a 440-2 with a 4500 adapter.

I did a back to back test(engine dyno) on my old pump gas 518 C.I. 400 stroker motor using a 400-2 with a 4500 tapered adapter and then a 400-3 with no spacer and finally a 1.5 inch tall Wilson aluminum reversion spacer. The 400-3 with no spacer made a tiny bit less HP and no torque loss or gain compared to the 400-2 with the two inch tall tapered 4500 adapter, adding the 1.5 inch tall Wilson reversion spacer onto the 400-3 intake pick up the motor 8 Ft lbs. and 12 HP at the same RPM with the same carb, jetting, timing and fuel on all three tests

We ran a 3X on the 557 that used to be in the dragster with a set of Indy CNC -1's. Worked well for us. Was not super fast combo at 7.90's best here in Vegas but worked well.
