You got a nice Revision 6 MC68060RC50 (E41J) to go in it?

Shame it doesn't have the SCSI capability of CSPPC/CSMKIII

This would be going in my A3000T which has SCSI-II already.

Sure but the SCSI-3 Ultra Wide on CSPPC/CSMKIII beats any other Amiga SCSI controller by a LONG way (in terms of transfer rate, MB/s).

I'd rather have a 300% faster hard drive than 18% faster memory.

I believe that the CPU060 command can adjust the flash to enable wait states (but I am not 100% sure)

Rev6 060 parts do not need a fan. They run almost cold at 50MHz and do not even need a heat sink at that speed.

Only serious 2x speed overclocks need anything more than a well fitted heat sink & retainer (not glued) with some thermal paste

75MHz should be fine with just a good heatsink.

Spending a bit of time on the airflow in the case and getting a good case fan would be a better use of your time and money.
