"The Big Book of Amiga Hardware" dosn't say anything about weather you can operate the FPU on the card at a different clock speed than the 030. However you should have no problems in overclocking the FPU to 50MHz but i would rather be on the safe side and get a real 50MHz FPU.

At one time i tried to overclock an 68882 20MHz to 50MHz that's an 150% overclock. I tried it in lightware where it performed well (speed wise) however it did generate some odd looking errors in the rendered image, telling that is was making alot of miscalculations because of the overclock. However it did not get hot or anything but there were a good risk to damage the FPU or/and the board but as being young at the time I did not regonize the danger :-)
