Valve spring keeper help I'am building a turbo 5.3 for my mustang, Have a lm7 engine with 706 head and was upgrading valve springs and of course one slipped off installing an keeper shot across the room, cannot find it of course, Is there a place where i can just buy a couple and do i need to know anything about size of valve stem ect??

I went to my local parts store and bought some, though this is a real parts store not one of the franchises will remain nameless. Any good parts store should have them I bought 2 from the same problem you had, I had one fly across the garage and I didn't feel like looking for it.
Dealership might have them, or you can order them from the sponsors here. It's always a good idea to buy a few extra when changing springs because this is a VERY common problem.
