It would be too far in the hole, unless it's a quench done piston, in which case the quench dome would likely pop up an additional .140 or something like that. A flat top with a 1.996 would be nothing great, that's more like a stock late 60's 440 piston. If you want to build a zero deck 440 you want something with around a 2.060" compression height.
