This is a post I began a month or so ago. It is a quick and dirty look at the contents of Marcion versus the contents of Mark, Luke, and Matthew. It is not a full synopsis such as Peter Kirby is working on, not a list of material shared by the Evangelion and Mark or Matthew, but not in Luke. Both those things remain a desideratum.
First: This is a list of pericopes in Luke that that he does not share with Mark or Matthew (i.e., the so called L material or Lukan Sondergut), following BeDuhn's edition in The First New Testament (2013):
Chart 1: The Contents of L in Luke:
3.10-14 The Preaching of John the Baptist
4.25-27 Elijah's miracles for Gentiles
M 7.11b-15 Jesus raises the widows son of Nain
M 7.36-47 A sinful woman forgiven
10.30-37a Parable of the Good Samaritan
10.39-42 Mary and Martha
M 11.5b-8 Parable of the persistent friend
M 12.16b-20 Parable of the rich fool
M 12.35-38 Parable of the doorkeeper
13.1b-5 Repent or perish
13.6b-9 Parable of the barren fig tree
M 13.10-17b Healing on the Sabbath
13.31b-32 Warning about Herod
14.2-5 Healing on the Sabbath
M 14, M 8-10; Not M 12-14 Parable of the choice of place at table
14.28-32 Counting the cost
M 15.4-6 Parable of the Lost sheep
M 15.8-9 Parable of the Lost coin
15.11.32 Parable of the lost (prodigal) son
M 16.1b-8 Parable of the dishonest manager
M 16.19-31 Parable of the rich man and Lazarus
17.7-10 Say, "We have done out duty"
M 17.12-1818.2-8a Ten lepers healed, Samaritan thankful
M 18.2-8a Parable of the unjust judge
M 18.10-14a Parable of the Pharisee and the publican
M 19.2-10 Zachaeus repents
26 L pericopes in Luke 3-19
15 attested in Marcion (marked with M)
11 unattested in Marcion
I originally posted the list here:

Second: Also unattested for Marcion is the material in Mark 6.45- 8.26 (Luke’s so-called Great Omission of Markan material which would have fallen between Luke 9.17 and 9.18):
Mark
6.45-52
Walking on Water
Thematic doublet of The Stilling of the Storm (Mark 4.35-41); Jesus shows power over wind and wave; the disciples were afraid but should have had faith in him.
6.53-56
Healings at Gennesaret
Summary
7.1-23
What Defiles A Person
Gentile mission delayed until Acts, ruling on what it is permissible to eat in Acts 10.9-16; 11.4-10
7.24-30
Syrophoenician Woman
Gentile mission delayed until Acts; note in the Lukan version of the Centurion’s Boy in Luke 7.1-10, the Centurion is kept off stage and sends a delegation of Jewish elders in Luke 7.3-5.
7.31-37
The Healings of Many Sick People
Summary
8.1-10
Feeding of the Four Thousand
Doublet of the Feeding of the Five Thousand (Mark 6.35-44)
8.11-13
Pharisees Seek A Sign
=Luke 11.29, 12.54-56
8.14-21
Leaven of the Pharisees
=Luke 12.1
8.22-26
Blind Men of Bethsaida
Most of the material in Mark 6.45-8.26 is paralleled in Matt 14.22-16.12, though some (notably Mark 8.22-26) is not.
Luke does have partial parallels to two pericopes in the great omission, as noted under the Pharisees Seek a Sign and the Leaven of the Pharisees.

Third: It is more difficult to list all of Matthew's M material, because, after the infancy material in chapters 1 and 2, it is diffused among (or perhaps I should say integrated with) Matthew's Markan material. Looking only at Matthew's unique parables, however, none of them are attested in the Evangelion:
13.37-50 The Dragnet
13.24-30, 36-43
13.44 Treasure
13.45-46 Pearl
18.23-35 Unmerciful Servant
20.1-16 Laborers in the Vineyard
21.28-32 Man with Two Sons
25.1-13 Wise and Foolish Maidens
25.31-46 Sheep and Goats
[Caveat: on the Farrer theory, some of Luke's parables are considered to be rewritten versions of some of Matthew's 'unique' parables, e.g., Luke's Dishonest Manager is a major recasting of Matthew's Unmerciful Servant, while Luke's prodigal son has elements of the Lost Sheep, Workers in the Vineyard, and Man With Two Sons].
To summarize:
A great deal of Luke's special material is attested in the Evangelion, the common Mark-Matthew material not found in Luke from iMark 6.45-8.36 is also not attested for the Evangelion. Matthew's M parables are not attested in the Evangelion.
The Evangelion has Luke-Mark material, Luke-Matthew (the double tradition or so-called Q material), and a good deal of special Lukan material.
At the pericope level, the Evangelion seems to have Lukan material, but not non-Lukan material. This does not mean that there are no individual verses in the Evangelion with parallels in Mark and or Matthew but not Luke. Nor does it establish the direction of dependence between the Evangelion and Luke.
Best,
Ken
