I am sure you could get something custom or from another application to work, but they are not cheap either way.
The sodium filled that is... but what not expensive these days anyways.

Re: Natrium filled valves (austrian type-R)
I think you guys are referring to Talcum filled valves. The talcum inside the valves liquifies when the engine is hot to help cool the valve down. Though this seems like a good idea it is mostly used on heavy duty engines such as tractor trailers and such. These valves are prone to more engine damage as they have been known to explode when temperatures rise above normal.
