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.

My problem is that i live in a very small town that is pretty useless in having any kinds of parts so everything I want i have to order out of the states

actually lucked out, local dealership did have some in stock as someone else had the same problem as me, thought would be on the smart side and get a few extra
