It went form the 28 oz to 50 oz in the early 80's, i'm not sure of the exact year though. Someone who knows the exact year will chime in sooner or later.

Is this sooner...or later? Anyway, the change occurred with the '81 model year 302. The 351W stayed at 28oz. and never did change, so you have to be careful not to put 351W flywheel/flexplate or balancer on an '81 or newer 302.
