You are on to something with the "My kid Syndrome".

TQ racers and for that matter even 1000cc Midget racers are populated by a different type of racer. The old 2 valve motors are getting harder to find all the time, and 4 valve motors are much different in design and construction. TQ racers now use a Full Midget drive train, and about everything else on his car is full size Midget except the frame and power plant. Why not go to a Midget frame. A guy once told me that the frame was the cheapest thing on a race car and I think he was right. So if your front axle and spindles are Midget, your rear end and drive shaft are midget, your shocks are Midget, your wheels are midget your tail tank is Midget and about everything else to include your engine parts like sump pumps and injectors are Midget, why mess with that cramped up little chassis?
