It seems as though HP ratings have been replaced by Torque or Ft/lbs. Any one know how to determine the HP of an engine based on the torque rating ?

a confusing answer, but this may help
HowStuffWorks "How do you convert engine torque to horsepower?"

(Torque x Engine speed) / 5,252 = Horsepower

so according to them,

i guess ex..... 12lbs x 3400 rpm / 5,252=7.7 hp
