In an ideal world that is what I would do.
Given the cost of a full rebuild with new pistons, liners, rings, bearings, valves, gaskets, etc, its not going to happen. I have recently read through the thread by Dean on LOSTJEEPS, a 5hr exercise, he has been rebuilding his for just on a year. Not all new parts. When I get the engine out & the head & sump off, it will be decision time. If the head is damaged from a dropped valve like Dean's, it will probably be a replacement engine.
