You need to use powdered iron cores, not ferrite, for the LPF.
The T-200-2 cores are readily available from California at around $5.00 each

Even though your large air core coils are at right angles, they are still
fairly close together and there will still be a fair amount of mutual
coupling between them. The field from a 90mm dia air core coil is
unbelievably large as I found out in my DX crystal radio-building
experiments...so who knows what effect this is having on the LPF.
