Diesel 617

I am in the process of gathering the manuals I need to convert and rebuild my 450sel into a Diesel. Are there any I am missing from this list? I plan on tearing down the engine so all the information I need to rebuild and machine it would be needed. I would think it would be in the Technical data manual. Of course I'd add the epc to this list as well.

There is a service manual for the OM617 turbo diesel engine, and it's quite thick (about as thick as W116 service manual volume 1). Also, the service manual for the 722.120 transmission would be helpful (I know at least ATSG makes one if Mercedes doesn't).

Yes! That is the one i am searching for. I had found it long time ago. Thank you for the reminder.
Looks like that transmission service manual will prove to be quite elusive, specifically the W4B-025 722.120 Trans. The rest are easier to find OEM manuals.
