Convert torque between lb-ft and newton-meters.
Newton-meters are the metric torque unit, and pound-feet the imperial one, related by the 1.3558 factor. Kilogram-force meters are the engineering-unit variant. Data sheets mix lb-ft, N-m and kgf-m, so converting is essential before comparing torque between cars or specs.
