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,

You might want to discuss pricing with a local dealer, sometimes the price and local sales tax is cheaper than price plus shipping esp. if the parts manager is willing to negotiate. If you're looking at spending 15k they would be dumb to not negotiate.

If not scoggin dickey (a sponsor) is worth talking to.

Thanks, I will definitely look into those two options. Any other suggestions?

I can vouch for Pace. I bought a Fastburn 385 from them and had them ship to the Philippines for me. Some minor issues with shipping, but wasn't the fault of Pace. They responded to all my inquiries in a timely fashion, which for me is a bonus. My only issue was I dropped the ball on the starter as I am using a 4 spd and didn't specify the right starter. No worries though, if I decide to go with an automatic later for some reason, I have the flex plate and starter to do so. I'm sure they would do a deal for you with the amount your planning to spend.

You probably have already factored this in but make sure you compare costs shipped. Some of the vendors who are aggressive on the pricing make it up on the shipping.

Thanks for the detailed info, I appreciate it.
I placed my order a couple of hours ago after calling several different vendors. Hopefully I got the best deal I could have.

Thanks, this was a big part of it. For residential shipping with lift gate, the shipping ranged from $345.00-$800.00

http://www.weirparts.com/ is another good source. If you call, ask for Bryan, tell him we sent you. (Hopefully they don't charge more because of that!)

I order all our parts through them. Great prices, Great customer service. No local sales tax, Good shipping prices. And they are all Hot Rodders. The owner of the dealer ship is building an LS9 powered, Ceramic brake equipped low mileage 57 chevy sleeper. WATCH OUT.

Superior Chevy in Kansas city is really cheap $5402 for lsx 376 engine. Get the controller kit from PSI for around 850 or so with harness, DBW TB, pcm, map, etc. GM controller kits are nice but the harness is to short to hide the computer. For acc drive I would get a Wegner. GM is a lot cheaper but the Wegner is cheap for what your getting.
