That's the right box, but I don't see any of the necessary hardware. The complete box comes with a linkage for the throttle, and hoses and fittings for the fuel line, etc. The hardware itself is pretty nice, and would cost probably $100+ if you had to buy it or replicate it.

I have got a gen iv with an aftermarket pan. I just have the oil drain at the bottom side.
Ive searched the forums and a few guys dumped it back into the block off on the fuel pump. im guessing thats not even close to right though

look at the side of the block above where the remote oil filter goes,,look either in front of it or above it on the side of the block,,their may be 2 plugs where for a oil cooler lines if it were in a truck.. you may be able to use the one that dunps the oil back in to the block..
