Newb question comin at ya!

I'm buying an 87 t2 with 121k km's. It was rebuilt 5k km's ago.

The question is, will this rebuilt t2 be able to make a straight through 10 hour drive? Taking into consideration that the temperature and turbo should be fine.

So something like 100 km/hr for say 15 minutes then 90 km/hr for 15 minutes then speed up? This is mostly going to be highway driving by the way.
