I'm also replacing all the pots, caps and wiring.

.033 Mallory caps
Vintage clothed wiring
CTS 500k pots (3x log/ 2x lin)
And a treble bleed for the master volume.

Thanks all for your replies and help!

I am really searching for p90 pups so not anything that comes close to it. So what I did is this..

A while ago I needed some special pups for my diy strat. A guy I know has his own pickup shop and he has made me these pickups.(handwound)
So I asked him if he could make me 2 p90 pickups in the size of a LB-1 pickup. And he can! He is now making me some custom handwound p90 pups for my Starfire v!

Size: 68x28mm (little smaller), but adjustment screws on 81mm.
Neck: 7.2K
Bridge: 8.4K
Alnico 5 and heavy enamel awg 42 wire.

I will have them within 2 weeks.. can't wait to test them!

Be sure and let us know how they are. If you have someone else put them in, ask them to document the process by pictures and please share them with us.
