'Thanks a heap' and 'you're in a heap of trouble', at least, are common enough in informal AmE. Here are some hits for 'a heap more': http://fraze.it/n_search.jsp?q=a+heap+more&l=0

Count your blessings.

I can't say I hear it in California either except in old-timey Western films on late-late-night TV.

I associate the expression "heap good" with a cartoonish caricature of Native American speech -- "Um white man he got um heap good whisky" kind of thing. I suppose this sort of thing would be considered racist nowadays. (I don't think for a moment that it's intended this way in the Pony cartoon though.)
