The flight was the airplane's first flight since the installation of a new engine. During cruise flight, the engine suddenly stopped producing power, and the propeller wind-milled. The pilot's attempts to restore engine power were unsuccessful. During forced landing to a small, uneven field, the airplane collided with the ground. Test bench examination of the magnetos and ignition harnesses revealed the components functioned to factory specifications. Test bench flow examinations of the throttle body fuel control, fuel pump, fuel manifold valve, lines and nozzles revealed the components functioned to factory specifications. Disassembly examination of the engine and accessories revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunction.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
