Default cutting cast iron

So a friend's Levittown house has a 3" dia. drain in the utility room.

Alas, it's less than useful as the cast iron bell sticks up ~2"
above the floor. So when his waterheater split, his house flooded.

We're looking to cut it off flush so things WILL drain into it,
and installing a drain cover.

What's the best approach to cutting it? An air driven saw with fine
pitch blades, Sylar's finger, a grinder, Goldfinger's Laser....?

ps: We don't know if it's a dry well drain, or goes into the sewer;
but when we pour water down, it does go away... The dehumidifier
drains into it.
