From my limited knowledge and experiance I would suggest you go the A series,
I run a couple of both (L26,L28T,A10,A15T)
The A series is a simpler engine and a cheaper engine to get parts for, It also seems to handle high boost pressures than the L series, its also a hell of a lot lighter and shorter.
On the other hand as they say "there is no replacement for displacement" and you can give the L series some serious displacement (2.4 l20 with z24 crank) but they are quite alot heavier in percentage of overall weight.
I dont look forward to pullin the head on either motors but the A series so much simpler, if you drop the timing chain on the l series you have to remove the timing cover (crank pully, distributor, oil pump etc.).
The A series is an "old war horse" it can take huge turbo boost (30psi) and put out some pretty serious BHP.
The L series is a bit more `fisicated and dosesnt seem to handle big boost very well (15psi+) but the extra cubes give it a bit more torque of the line.
An An A15 running 28-30psi Should flow upto 6000cc`s.
An L20 running 14-15 psi should flow upto 4000 cc`s.
If you want to go N/A then go the L series it will take some extra work and dollars.
If you want to go turbo then (in my opinion) Go the A series.


I wonder how my A15T ( 105kw at 17 psi)would go in my 240Z (1050KG) ?
