In order to do well in Engineering in a UK school you must be strong in Math and Physics, your British cohort will most definitely be strong in those subjects.Although nice to have History, English, Manadarin and Bio are not really going to enhance your application for engineering. If you are concentrating on UK schools I wouldn’t bother retaking the ACT at 31, you are well above the minimum, and as other may have said your GPA and EC’s are not relevant but make sure you write an engaging personal statement including why engineering in the UK. Unlike Conformist I would stay away from Brighton and the Univ of the Highlands, stick with schools with solid engineering reputations in the UK, Nottingham and Manchester are two, think also Leeds Sheffield, Bath , Southampton as possibilities.Good luck.
