Default Best place to order a GMPP crate engine?

I need two of the LS376/480's (part #19244549), plus two of the controller kits (part #19258267), and one of the accessory drive kits (part# 19155066).
From my research, I have found that Crate Engine Depot has the best price $6548.00 each, with Pace Performance after that at $6589.00.
I am trying to get a discount for the whole package shipped to a residential address in California. Does anyone know of a company that will sell all of this at a bigger discount?
Thanks,

No, I have not called anyone, just done a lot of internet research. Just trying to get pointed in the right direction if anyone has had success with a better discount than the deals that I have found.

I got mine from Fred Beans Chevrolet for $6450. They are good people to work with and have been there for support after the sale. They replaced a defective ECM for me under warranty no problem.

For what it is worth, if you go with the GM controller package, be aware that GM's claims ("plug and play", "no tuning required") may not be entirely true. Mine runs better with the second ECM, but still stalls sometimes when hot (otherwise it runs great).

If it were me I would write up a E-mail and send it out to all of the sponsors on here and other places you have been looking. But I would also make sure you go with someone that is reputable with a order that big. IMO I would rather spend a few hundred dollars and have good customers service then order from a place with bad service just in case something goes wrong.

And its not really a group purchase but kind of the same idea (wanting a discount for a large purchase). You might want to create a post in the GP request section.
