I'd forget about it.  First off, you'd need physically the extra set of 060 pins not present on the GVP board.  There are such 68040 to 68060 socket designs out there, but it would be a $$$ way of finding out.  Even then, there'd be problems with timing, glue logic etc.  You'd probably be better off maybe trying to overclock the 040 to 40MHz by changing the crystal oscillator.  Don't even know if that would work though.

How did you bump it up to 40MHz?  I assume you changed the 16.x MHz oscillator to 20MHz.  Did you also upgrade the cpu to a full 40MHz version?

As for the 'other' gvp board, you mean the TrexxI for the A3000/4000?  It is physically a bit different that the true 68060 TRexxII gvp board made by GVP-M.  It has a max of 32Mb using GVP simms and is a 5V board, unlike the 3.3V 68060 version.
