I put a quart of oil in the coolant compartment in my 300c Hemi Chrysler engine. Can I drive it about 50 miles without hurting my engine to get my engine flushed?

If you dumped the oil into the surge tank, you need to drain it before you run the engine. You could possibly run it without issue. The problem would be the cleanup. It comes down to cleaning the surge out only, or having to have the entire cooling system (radiator, engine block, reservoir, hoses, etc.) cleaned out, which is a lot of work.
