I'm another guy who just modified his 80/40 board to be an 80/160 board 
and it was really simple (even I could do it!).  It works well, too.  
The crystal from International Crystal cost about $20 and they were 
actually quite fast; of course Elecraft had the rest of the parts and 
they were even faster.  Total cost is about $45 -- and is worth 
it....except, of course, the 160 m band is pretty darn near worthless 
with QRP in the summer months...but that's when I'll put the KF1-4 in 
(40, 30, 20, 15 m)!

Go for it!
