Hi, I need to insert 3 mottorsteppers, along with a 4x3 keypad and a LM041L display, but i think there isn't enough exits in the 8051, is there any way? (the 3 motorsteppers need to move independently, but 2 will have the same software)

I did not understand this part completely but yes you can control all steppers independently, just use different pins for all of them. and driver them separately. Take a look at Stepper Motor Tutorial for information on controlling stepper using microcontrollers.

If you run the display in 4 bit mode and share pins between the display and the keyboard
you might be able to do it at a stretch.
A better way is too use a serial version of the LCD display or dedicated stepper drivers that need
fewer control pins.
