alexh is right, replacing 040 with 060 is much more tedious job, and it for sure requires either replacement or reflashing of the flash with correct 060 firmware.

My understanding is that MMU is required. BPPC has pretty complex MMU setup normally and I don't quite see how it would be possible to reproduce that with just transparent translation registers in EC060.

68LC060 should work, however. At least 68LC040 does. Note that applications requiring FPU won't work then. Many 060 apps assume FPU, so those would just crash with LC060.
