Safe Highway Speed

My new to me 1935 four door convertible sedan model 1205 has a 1936 super eight engine rebuilt in 2013. Odometer not working so true mileage is unknown but I feel confident from other information that it is under 50K miles on this engine. I will be touring with the car and would like some input about safe highway speeds. While interstates will be avoided whenever possible, there will be instances where I will have to get on them. Can this engine tolerate a 65 mph steady speed for an hour or so? It does not have overdrive. All other mechanicals on the car seem fine as I know the previous owner maintained it well.
