Jim,

You'll be hardpressed to find something. Inductance and voltage are 
extreme. Without tackling MOT's or similar, then maybe just look for 
unwound bolt up IE cores to easily set an air gap without hacking at the 
core. Wind the inductors yourself. This is probably the best method as 
you can build in the current and voltage. Similar to what Richie Burnett 
did with his homebrew ballast.

Take care,
Bart
