The difference between horsepower and engine CC is about the same as the differnce between the size of a leg of a windmill rotor and the power of the windmill. The engine displacement (metered in CC) is one factor which determines the maximum power output of an engine - but it is not the only one. In order to get an engine with 100 hp, you may use an engine with 500 cc or one with 6 liters - it depends how the engine is made in detail.
