GM lists LT4 keepers and retainers so I used them. Don't know if you absolutely have to or not.
retainers are 12495492
keepers are 12495503

I'd go bigger than lt4 springs os if you ever do a cam bigger than LT4 hotcam (pretty much everything) you won't have to swap valve springs again

I would wait and get the hotcam kit. It comes with all the parts you have said you wanted. Cam, springs and rockers.
