Q & A: Convert to a Tickford

I need some advice. I have two MG TAs, a '36 and a '38. The '36 is a
basket case and the '38 requires total restoration. A fellow that I bought
an engine and transmission from suggested that I convert one of these cars
to a Tickford. Is this a good idea? I know that some of the specialized
parts would be hard to find and probably very expensive, but would a built

bearings, and if so what does it cost to rebabbet the mains and rods? Thank
