According to the pilot, the airplane had just come out of overhaul, which included the rebuilding of the engine. After the completion of a thorough preflight, the pilot stated he executed a normal takeoff. As the airplane climbed through 500 feet, the engine had a 'sudden but smooth power loss'. After attempting to restart the engine, the pilot stated he selected a field for landing and executed an off airport landing. The airplane encountered soft ground and nosed over during the landing roll. Examination of the engine by Textron Lycoming found the engine in excellent condition. According to Lycoming, there were no discrepancies found that would have prevented the engine from running.
Probable Cause: Loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the unsuitable terrain.
