Sir:
That is hard to say...
It depends upon the manner of breathing - natural or forced (super charged or turbo charged)
and on the manner of carburation - natural of forced
(fuel injection)
and the type of fuel used such as gasoline, diesel, nitro, steam, etc.
and the type of engine it is, such as piston engine, steam engine, diesel engine, rotary engine, etc.
and the compression ratio such as 8:1. 9:1, 10:1, etc.
and the normal RPM/maximum RPM such as 9,000 RPM
My guess is that a 40cc gasoline engine might yield anywhere from 2 Hp to 5 Hp.
It certainly does not have the power of 40 horses as one correspondent answered.

Horsepower isn't dictated by the size of the engine. I assume you're talking about mechanical horsepower, though.

engine displacement doesn't map directly to HP. (40cc is the displacement)
