67 390 engine mount insulators would be the exact same as 67 GT500.

A 67 GT500 started out as a fastback 390 Mustang that had the 428 PI specified instead . There is not a unique GT 500 motor mount. Those are part numbers and not the engineering number you see on the part. What dose the Ford MPC state for application. Be sure to look in a 67 specific MPC as 68 on up may have a superseded part number as parts evolved . I do not think it will say GT500 only. After you do the homework let us know what you find out.

Hi Bob,
