Welcome to FTE.
You want a written list and measurments? Good luck with that. What you are thinking about undertaking is hot rodding and fabrication. It's not a "kit" so be prepared.
The first step is to do your homework. We'll help you out with the details but if you expect a step-by-step how to then you're in over your head already.

I can't give you any advice on the swap besides it's super easy and check out the threads listed by HIO Silver. I think this one was the first thread on the subject https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...o-67-f100.html
I had a thread on what I did for the rear of mine to match the new bolt pattern and width of the CV front.

I've seen this guy posting on CL selling the install kit, the front clips as well as installation for $1500. He was selling the clips for $500 which I used as negotiation to buy one from another guy. He's since raised his price. I haven't been down to look for the materials yet, but I agree, $220 is crazy expensive for what it is.

While it could be done, the frame on the Crown Vic is not straight(ish) like the truck. The frame widens out behind the firewall to the outside edge of the car. It has a fully boxed frame though. But if your doing that I'd just buy an older Crown Vic as they are far cheaper to buy.
None of your cab mounts will fit the new frame shape, but you would get the nice 5 link rear set up.
