You're thinking of the PC Transporter, from Applied Engineering.  It
actually used a V20, not an 8088 (or was it a V30 instead of an 8086?). 
(The difference was that the V[23]0 was a little bit faster than the 808[86]
at a given clock speed.)

I think I saw an ad for one of these long ago, but it was aimed more at
running MacOS than CP/M-86 (wasn't that an x86-based OS anyway?).  There
were also add-ons for several memory-expansion cards that allowed you to
replace the 65(C)02 in a IIe with a 65C816 (had one from Applied Engineering
for their RamWorks III...played with it for a little while, but I liked my
10-MHz RocketChip better :-) ).
