I'd talk a friend with a wave solder into letting you mask the wire and connector, then flux it and stick it in the solder pot...

Subject: Re: [TN] Wire Harness question - soldering 0 AWG wire?
Pre-tinning the 0 awg, and then using a hotplate and a Metcal are what I
used to solder my 0 awg to the copper lugs for a 240 volt 50 amp power
connection.
I contemplated the blowtorch path, however I had plenty of patience and
only had to make four connections.
It was forming the wire that was the hardest part.
