nasty squeal when accelerating (not belts)NEED HELP!

I just did put a new motor in 83 trans am, i am 99% done with everything to get it inspected and start driving but I keep getting this squeal everytime im driving and go above 2 thousand or in reverse turning it and when you hit the gas it squeals. it dosent squeal while your reving it up. I took off all the belts too see if they were the problem but it still squeales Any suggestions will help. Thanks, Eric
