I'm not even sure if this is possible, but the bigger brother of the OM602 2.5L turbo diesel engine is the 3.0L OM603, which is even more powerful. That might be a nicer project than a 2.5L, if the engine will fit.
Naalala ko tuloy yung nabasa ko sa Mercedes Enthusiast a few issues back wherein this one guy converted one of his 190E to run on an MB 2.9L 5 cylinder diesel that came from a Ssangyong (MB100) then mated it to a 4 speed A/T tranny from a 300D w124.
