I believe the 302 balance changed to 50oz after 1980 so it sounds like you have the right weight. As far as the tooth count goes I am not sure. You may already know this, but just in case... One other thing you will need is a bracket for the clutch pedal linkage that connected to the old block. The 80s 302s do not have this threaded mount on the side of the block. I think I got mine from Wild Horses but it has been so long I can't remember! If you can't find one e-mail me and I will go through my reciepts.
