I need to know if I'll need to obtain the Legacy Starter or if my SVX starter will bolt up????

You will need to use the Legecy starter. Or, I think that any 5-speed starter of similar vintage would work.

My SVX driveshaft is the one-piece (with the DOJ center joint) which I've read is not possible to lengthen since it does not come apart to be put in a lathe.
I think I'm going to try to located a componet SVX driveshaft so I can have the front section lengthened.
I need to know how long to have the front section lengthened (???) because I want to take the shaft and the rear end to a shop and get those started while I put everything else together...and I've read 2" & 2-3/8"
Whats the easiest way to take care of the rear crossmember? I'm liking Mike's crossmember. Anyone else do something different?

You should read through my 5-Speed install thread. especailly the second page. A lot of your questions are answered in it. You can find it here:

Also, feel free to IM, email, or PM me with questions. it sounds like your swap is essentially the same as mine.
You should check with Earthworm for info on how he did his crossmember mounting. I wish I'd done mine his way.
Good Luck,
Jay
