You would be increasing it's value in the UK market. There's a lot of
Conversion activity over there these days, what with all of the cars
being sucked out of the U.S. . You might take a look at what some of the
English TR suppliers, of TR clubs have available in the way of kits.
I know of at least one place that has kits to convert MGA's to RHD.
Includes dash panel, steering rack, and a couple other bits.

The rubber in the mounts is probably soft due to age, oil, & stress.
Engine mount replacement should be pretty straightforward.
- disconnect the radiator, short wires & hoses, etc.
- Undo the nuts/bolts on the mounts
- jack or lift the engine, mostly on one side at a time, to get enough
room to remove the old mount, and insert the new.
- "reassembly in the reverse of the above"
make sure you reconnect the Block to Frame ground wire.
