Not sure how you are ruining slaves unless your slave is bolted somewhere other than the transmission. I don't have a picture of mine right now, it's a 4.3 with a SM465 trans. I made a plate that uses the bellhousing bolts and used a 4 cyl S10 master and slave. The S10 slave was only because the Jeep came with an S10 master and no drivetrain. It's also compact and fits, I don't have much room beside the exhaust.
I've seen the AA engine mounts and they look stout, I'm guessing the bushings are soft or the mounts need gussets.

Thanks I believe that one would be the same as one of the ones i have tried guess i will look into NOVAC adaoter slave cylinder for $200 Lol

Mount a slave to the bell, problem solved. Isn't that what Chev's are like stock anyway? Get rid of CJ mechanical linkage.

Would need to see pics of engine mount problem.
