heater hose fitting on intake - size?

I need a new heater hose fitting for my new intake that's going to be on my new crate engine....I don't have the engine yet so I can't check it for myself....

the intake is this :

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-10185063

Would it be 3/4 or 5/8 ?

summit says 1/2 but that's not an option (unless they are talking about the diameter of the actual hole not the part the hose connects onto)

They are describing the thread size in the manifold for the heater hose (1/2 NPT-national pipe thread). On the summit site look at the PSST fittings- pricey but very nice. Bruce

Usually the intake to inlet (bottom) of heater core is 5/8 ID, return form the core to radiator or water pump is 3/4 ID.
