I am running an Apollo 1240/25 @ 40Mhz (80Mhz crystal) with no problems whatsoever.
Just don't forget to place an appropriate heatsink and (486-)fan on your 68040.

Are you sure you need a square oszillator? I only found Blizzards (altough 40Mhz version) with non-square oszillators (see http://www.amiga-hardware.com/ ).
Just be sure to choose the right one (either 8 or 14-pin DIL).

@MarkAshley: For how many Mhz is the 68040 on the Blizzard rated? Maybe you can post the CPU code here. I just doubt that a 68040 rated at 25 or 33 Mhz will work with anything more than 40 Mhz.
