Well how much does a bare 060 or hell even a low end G3 CPU cost? I'd be willing to donate to that project.
New 060s are rather expensive. The budgetary price (when buying in lots of 1000 or more) is $283 for the MC68060RC50 (50MHz 060). If you're willing to settle for an EC part (no FPU and no MMU) you can for MC68EC060ZU50 for only $83, but it's a BGA part which requires some funny equipment to solder. Most PowerPC parts I've seen are also BGA though I seem to remember the G3s and possibly later Macs using a ZIF socket so perhaps there is a PGA version of some sort.
