The LS-1 t56 won't bolt up to a sbc, so I'm guessing the op has a t56 magnum built for a sbc/bbc application, which as you stated, has a shorter input shaft. I know that I had to convert mine over.
An LS1 T56 will bolt up just fine to a SBC/BBC with a 0.5" thick mounting/adapter plate and the original Muncie type bell housing and mechanical clutch linkage. You can skip the adapter plate if you use a hydraulic clutch linkage and a T56 specific bell housing for the SBC/BBC.
