These should give you a fair idea, including local suppliers.  Gassers actually seem to be one thing that is available quite a bit locally !

Just search for "gasser", and you may see other useful threads too !

Gassers are not cheap, and high wing gassers are somewhat less available than 3D/aerobatic ones.  Pretty sure there are big Piper Cubs around :)
