Replace the rod, never weld.
Replace the piston.
Do that only after inspecting the block to make sure no damage was done to the cylinder wall, crank, and the block itself.

I agree with Camaro 69 also

if you are looking for a replacement, contact a machine shop that you trust. They have Rods as well as pistons. if your wanting to keep it non-after market. You say it is "Cracked", were you working on the motor and found this crack as you inspected the motor?

Do you have pictures of your cracked rod or piston?

Save up a few hundred bucks and get a 383 stroker kit! since you are going to tear it down anyway, why not?! Kit comes with new crank, rods, and pistons.
