Since horsepower is an ambiguous unit, i.e. there are multiple definitions of what one horsepower is, an exact conversion would require some additional information on what type of horsepower is meant here.

Incidentally, my favourite reference for anything that involves unit conversions is this:

U.S. Department of Commerce - National Institute of Standards and Technology, Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI), edition 2008
