Could i just use all the stuff to start/stop the engine that is in the car? That'd be cheapest

That looks identical to the one I picked at the junk yard...should work fine.
What black box? Pictures?
You could, but the integration would be far more complex. For example the stock shutdown is a mechanical valve on the back of the ignition switch. You'd have to find a way to remove the ignition module from the steering column and install it in the target vehicle....not something I'd attempt. One way or another you need a vacuum valve to accomplish the shutdown.....OK, I lied - you can just run a length of vacuum hose into the cabin and when you want to shutdown the engine just suck on the hose! (I know it works because my original vacuum solenoid failed when I was 2500 miles from home on one of my cross country road trips and a temporary length of hose got me home)
