<VV> Explanation of torque...

[cash case]

Hello guys- Question:
What's the explanation of torque?

My understanding is that torque is a function of leverage. I guess 
that's it's most basic explanation.
For those guys wanting to use big bore kits for their 'vair engines the 
longer connecting rods function a bit like a fulcrum with a long action 
bar on one side of the fulcrum and a short reaction bar on the other 
side (Picture a teeter-totter with a short side).
I know a longer throw on the crankshaft is the same thing.

On our corvair motors there's not much we can do about the crank throw. 
However, If we;re using deeper jugs and longer connecting rods, Does 
that function the same way?

Is my understanding correct? Or am I just a wingnut?  ;op
