Engine knock after complete rebuild

I just rebuilt my gm goodwrench 350 and installed all new bearings and flat top hypereutectic pistons. It idles very smooth, smoother than any engine I have owned. It is also smooth in gear, but when I go for a cruise, it has a slight knock/clatter under acceleration. I can also rev it up in idle and you cant hear any knocking at all. What might this be? could it be the transmission?
