Torque X RPM / 5252 = HP. If this engine's rating is at max RPM, and that is say, around 300, then it's making around 1800 lb/ft of torque at 300 RPM. The 5252 is a constant, the torque and HP are always equal at 5252 rpm. You can figure torque, hp, or or RPM required for either of the two by swapping the formula around. Good sounding 'ol engine BTW. I get to tinker with Superiors, Clarks, Cooper-Bessemers, Ajax's and few others from time to time.

@Aussie50 ah so I see you are a fan of old engines like this too! :D it would be cool if you could find one like this, then hook it up to a washer machine drum xD and throw a brick in... hehe

@Aussie50 Yes, that is also interesting. In school I was taught that torque is a function of power, thus an engine with a certain power output always has a certain torque output. This is obviously wrong. As is almost everything else I've been taught in different schools, it seems.

@Tjita1 Hp to Torque ratio FTW :D
-
It's an engine as big as a truck, developing no more than 100 horsepower. Power to weight ratio, anyone?
