5/8" heater core hose blowing off!!!

okay in my 64 chevy k10, I've got a 70's 010 casting high nickel sbc block, just turned into a 383 stroker, with 2003 gmc 1ton 906 casting vortec heads and intake...

cooling system was a1 before engine swap. old motor was a same 010 block from my corvette, without vortec heads/intake...only change in this setup is vortec heads and intake...

I've started it up 3 times and all 3 times the 5/8" coolant line from pass front intake blows right off the heater core end!!!

Heater core is not blocked...

Not running a thermostat at all at this point...

My heater core hoses run from front pass intake 5/8" to 5/8" on heater core
Other line runs from 3/4" off top of water pump to 3/4" on heater core...

because I have vortec heads, and all this conflicting info regarding bypass hoses...I don't have anything else... is my hose blowing off because I don't have a bypass hose?
