David,
I tapped mine with a 3/8 inch pipe tap.
Here's what it looks like now.

Later I'll add this stainless fitting for the heater hose.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Heater to block connection
Has anyone had success pressing a new heater hose (5/8 inch steel tube) into the block with the engine in the car (Pantera). I'm looking for a better idea than the one I have as there is no room to swing a hammer and the interference fit is pretty darn tight. My best idea is to turn down the tube a little into I can slide it in and use jb weld to seal it in place.
This really looks like a job for a press, but I expect most people use a hammer when the block is out.
Thanks
David
