Default Ok bent valve i think options

So i pulled my valve covers off today and saw the first spring was compressed and the valve not all the way up . I think that means i have a bent valve. The car will still run but i dont want to run it because i wanna try and save the bottom end. Is it possible to do new heads, valves, a whole new valvetrain including lifters and rockers, instead of replacing the motor? the bottom end already has a cam in it so i figure id just keep building this motor.

Yes, you can change the entire top end no problem with the engine in the car.
