Option 1 - Ask a winder to put twice 2.6k of poly insulated wire around T-Top bobbins with related slugs and screw poles, an indox 7 magnet (or a ceramic 8), a baseplate reduced to a strip under the mag, some blac epoxy to hold the whole in a cover and pay the high price due for such excentric orders.
Option 2 - Find some 20.8k / 7.88H humbucker, mount it in neck position under a cover and wire it in parallel.
Option 3 - Use a P.A.F. or T-Top clone with not too high DCR / inductance and wire it in parallel with some dummy coil(s) (+series resistor if needed) measuring approximatively 16k / 4H, hidden in the electronic cavity.
Option 4 - Put some P.A.F. or T-Top clone with not too high DCR / inductance in the neck slot and... pull off its screw poles in the good old Nashville session way.
Then set it higher under the strings.
It will lower the inductance of the pickup but reEQ it in a nice way (IOW: at the opposite of a mudbucker) while keeping its humbucker effect.
Only downside: the sustain will drop a bit faster.
NOTE - Bill Lawrence was definitively knowing what he was doing when he has opted for the mentioned neck pickup in 1976 Explorers... ;-)
