Default fixing a bent LS rod

i already asked in Tech, but got no response. basically i have a set of LS pistons and one rod is bent due to hydrolocking the engine. how much would it be to get that fixed and where do i go to do it?

You can't bend it back. They are heat treated/hardened. Once it bends it is trash.
