They aren't the same thing so there isn't a direct conversion, feet/sec is velocity and cfm is flow but they are related so if you know the cross sectional area (CSA) through which the air is flowing, you can calculate one from the other
cfm= feet/sec * csa * 60 where csa is measured in square feet.
Note however that air velocity within an air stream varies depending on proximity to the wall, obstructions and various other factors so, the velocity must necessarily be an average.

Trust me, it's all here on this forum pretty much already. Take a couple hours and read through the old post. Make sure at the bottom of your page you can see every post in each section "from the beginning". If you have something specific you are looking for, use the search function at the top. There is a WHALE of information here.... just have to dig a little for it. But most likely you will still get stumped before or during your build (I know I did!!) and these guys will help you out for sure.
