thats not completly true either,lots of older engines were used in both cars and trucks,but trucks had higher torque even with the same transmissions and gears.the reason ? different crankshaft with a longer throw on crank .cant pull a freight train with a washing machine engine,cant get enough power to move the gears required let alone the train.heres a thought lets all pull our engines out of our tractors and replace them with lawnmower engines. my n has about 25 hp,i could simply replace it with a 25 hp briggs right? same hp. so what would be the difference? simple no torque,lawnmower engine has a crank with maybe 2" throw on it,n engine has over 4" so it simply developes more torque.what about a 2cyl john deere? many two cyl lawnmower engines make more hp,and run more fuel effecient, why not use them? again no torque. same way with that old 3/8 - 1/2" ratchet thing,you cant pull any more than your strenghth allows,but you sure can develop more torque by getting a longer wrench.but.. which wrench can you move faster when spinning a nut off? the shorter one of course it doesnt have to travel as far,so it technically has more hp!because hp is a product of rpms!
