Searching for 68040/40 processor ... for A4000 upgrade !!!

I am the happy owner of a
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/x-calibur.html
and I want to use it to speed up my A4000D with 3640. But instead of removing the 25 Mhz 68040 from the 3640 and putting it on the X-calibur, I prefer to put a 40 Mhz version on it and possibly also tune that one a bit to go faster to maybe 50 Mhz ... problem is that I can only find one 68040/40 on Ebay (worldwide), for 27 euro in the States. Does anyone know a little cheaper solution

More than a year
That means a year closer to my deatch !!! I would prefer to get it a litte bit faster ...
You say it´s a 33 Mhz that can be overclocked, but how far can you do that
Only to 40 Mhz

With all due respect to Apple but I decided to go for a 68040/33 processor board for an Apple computer and remove the processor from that. This turns out to be cheaper than buying a seperate 68040 ...
How far can you tune such a 33 Mhz 68040

If I buy a 680LC40 instead of a full 68040 then I probably get down to a level of a normal 68030, not
But when I look at the 68060/75 that runs without fpu, does this mean that a 680LC40 can be pushed further than the normal limits
