Looks like it's a 350 with 4 bolt mains, 87-95. As to what it came out of, that block is a whore; Chevy used it in just about everything. So it's hard to say. Assuming it was earlier in the run (87-89 or so) it might've been from a Monte Carlo, another Camaro, a truck, a Caprice... you name it.

Is there anything specific you need to know about it? The casting number gave me some basic info, but if there's something a bit more in-depth you want to know maybe we can help you find out what you need.

If I had to guess why the engine was swapped, I'd say it's likely that your car's first owner blew the first one so they just dropped in a replacement. People buy Camaros to race them and when you race a motor shit happens. So long as the new one is strong, you shouldn't have any trouble with it. Using new in a relative sense here, of course.
