It wouldn't be perfect but you can easily get two points on opposite ends of the torque curve by converting the high RPM max HP value to torque.

Torque = (HP * 5252)/RPM

Since Torque = HP at 5252 RPM and the max HP value we were given is around 5300 RPM it looks like it may be a plateau of ~200 ftlbs of torque through most of the RPM range.

(Disclaimer: This is just a shot in the dark by playing with the numbers a bit. It may be completely off-base. If it's wrong, it's wrong - deal with it.)
