7 maybe in total? maybe 8 there are two types though, smaller 14 heads x5 or 6 and 17s x2.
and nah u dont need those little brackets, only dead weight really.
unless u want it to be all stock and nice then yeah a little more bracing cant hurt.
How many bolts are there?
Also is there a need to mount those little bracket things that come on the jdm 16vs that go from block to gearbox?

but they dont seem to line up or is it me?
the brackets or the bellhousing?
bellhousing is direct fit. no problems there.
brackets who knows? someone else will be able to confirm but i was under the impression only 7a blocks didnt have the provisions for the brackets.
Those bracket things suck. They don't even line up on normal 4a.
It's all to do with the sequence you tighten the bolts up in.
Yeah the brackets didn't line up on mine either so I left them off
I think I only ended up using the 4 17mm headed bolts to fasten it.
Toyota love to over engineer everything.
it just seems that only 4 bolts is rather weak!
use all the bolts. it would suck to have your gearbox just jump off during some mad hill run.
but forget the brackets.
yeah but todd there is only 4 two up the top and 2 down the bottom??
6 is kind of close to my guess of 7.
whack some gaffa tape on there to be sure and ur SWEEEEEEET
