Roller or hydraulic lifter 360?

Great advice, thanks much for all the responses.
What is this tube on the back side of the motor, the EGR system? It connects to the heads and then heads down to the exhaust manifold area. I assume I’d need to block off the heads where it attaches?

Thanks, these new fangled motors are new to me.
