How similar is it to an LS1/6?

I'm assuming that the millimeters helped meet some internal engineering spec for engine clearances (i.e. maintenance, etc.).
As for aftermarket cranks, I don't know of one. However, I guess that someone that is creative could make one. The length change is all in the nose of the crank and the flexplate mounting flange. So, I'm thinking that someone could have those to areas machined shorter by the appropriate lengths. All the other dimensions are common to the LSX architecture.

2006 Impala V-8 But W/o Ss Badges Saw a beautiful light brown Impala today loaded with brown leather~moonnroof~ & 300HP V-8 with duals. Thought you had to buy the SS to get the V-8, guess not. What a sleeper !

It is a front wheel drive car... a T56 sticking out through the front drivers side quarter panel wouldn't be very appealing.
LOL

Somebody would have to actually check, but I'm guessing the chances are better than even. GM created a new 4T65eHD case for this engine/tranny combo. I assume this was to use the standard LSX bolt pattern and accomodate the starter. But it could be for very different reasons.

The ls5 might become popular in cars where the nigine bay is compact !
I hope the t56 bolts up to it
