Sure, why not? As long as you maintain your car properly, the engine can handle it just fine. This engine is/was used in industrial applications and ran fine. One of the problems with this engine was the carbon fiber gears which couldn't stand up over time to varying speeds i.e. shifting, which caused the teeth to break. At steady speeds, this wasn't a problem.
I have run my car for several hours at highway speeds with no problem and wouldn't have hesitated to run it longer. Problem was, I reached my destination. ;-)
Keep in mind, I have a brand new re-cored radiator and fresh coolant, so no overheating issues.
