use the search function, this was discussed a week or two or three ago.  I think it was t3skidoo.  that's doing the swap.

b234f is the DOHC people have used.

i dont see why "major work" should equal an answer of "none"

because when ever i find a post related to the subject of swapping a volvo dohc head onto a ford 2.3 lots of them are under the impression its a bolt on affair, which it is not.
so the answer is then "none" are a bolt on, BUT can be made to fit with "major work".
and major work is hard to sum up when major to some is just changing a fuel pump.

see.

supercharged88,
that sounds like a sweet plan.  I've wanted to do the same to a 67 fb (my favorite pony).

And not to be too pedantic, the head actually does bolt on.  You just have to plug some other holes .. and stuff.    :D
