In dired, navigate one folder "higher" than where you want to start
your replacement. Then insert the directory you want to work with
using C-u i and add an R to the arguments at the prompt. This will add
all files recursively into the dired buffer and you can work with the
files from there.

The Q command should accept multi line blocks as long as you can find
a regexp to do it. If not, maybe you want to write a small helper
elisp function.
