You can't actually buy a FPU, you must buy the whoole processor.
Which means that you must replace the old FPU-less processor with the
full FPU equiped one. I did so on my Performa 475, it wasn't really
hard. A screw driver will do must of the job (but be careful).

A M68040 (25 MHz) costs about 1200 swedish crowns (~ $150).
Check with a well equiped reseller.
