What is needed is:

1 A socket that fits the 060 (not the same as a 040 and you do not want to solder directly on the 060).

2 A voltage regulator, on the PPC board it's just moving a resistor to the right place.

3 A crystal that fits the 060 (remember the 040 only use half the crystal speed so a 040/25 uses the same crystal as a 060/50), again the PPC board have a small resistor for this (don't know why but that's the way it is).

4 Last but not least you need steady nerves and even steadier soldering hands cause it's not easy to solder off the 040 of the PPC board.

That is true.. the BPPC board also needs to be reflashed into 060 mode but don't trust DCE's answerr, you can do it yourself and in fact Aminet have (at least used to have) this flash file for download. You need to reflash the card before you change the CPU.
