Any LSx based (and alot of SBC) rods can be used with a 6L crank. A 6 liter crank is not dimensionally different from an LS1 crank. What is your objective, what size motor are you building? Are you building a 6L, or are you putting a 6L crank in an LS1 block?

FWIW, whatever your plans are, you can custom order pistons for any stroke/rod length you want. So, it depends on your plans.

Is the 6liter motor a stroked version of the LSX?

No. A 6L has the same stroke as an LS1, its extra inches are gained from a bigger bore. (A 6L block has a 4" bore, and an LS1 block has a 3.905 bore) No cheap strokers here, lol.
