Just guessing but I would assume one of two things - number one being most likely:
1. The big block motor died and it was more economical to install a replacement small black than repair/replace the big block.
2. The owner thought the big block was too heavy, thirsty, more than they needed/whatever and dropped in the small block instead.
Thats my theory, the current owner could probably set the story straight on that one.
