1 foot pound of torque is equal to the amount of 552 pounds being placed on a 1 foot long leaver.
It is the rotating power of a engine.
If a engine is rated at 300 ft pounds of torque at 4000RPM's, when the engine is turning 4000 RPM's it is putting out the same as 165,600 pounds on a one foot long leaver. This power is going to the drive train to move the vehicle.
Horse power is a separate measurement.
