Pulled out threads while removing O2 sensor

Oh-boy this isn't good....for me or my car...
I finally coaxed my O2 sensor out my hot exhaust manifold yesterday with lots of torque, profanity and PB blaster. With the sensor came a good chunk of the threads from the manifold. What do you do: a) try a heli-coil, b) chase the threads and pray, c) install a new (used) exhaust manifold or d) sell the car and get a bicycle? I'm going to try b) but I'm wondering if anyone has had success with the heli-coil option in cast iron.
