After rebuilding the head and replacing head gasket this 1989 b2200 still burning antifreeze and dripping out tailpipe could this be the intake manifold gasket that is bad?

The only (provided that you have cleaned the block and head surfaces, used the proper gasket, and torqued the head in the proper sequence and lbs), is a cracked or warped head. The head should be magnafluxed to test for cracks, and planed for warpage. Also, are you sure it's antifreeze coming out of the tailpipe? Some engines build up condensation under certain conditions in the exhaust system and drip water from the tailpipe.
Try retorquing the head bolts from the center out in an X pattern. This head was checked, resurfaced and rebuilt by a reputable machine shop. It was put on and torque to specifications from the middle. The reason I asked this question this was I checked this head twice now and get the same results. I noticed that water goes thru the intake and why couldn't it cause the same result of a bad head gasket if water was finding it's way into a piston chamber. If it couldn't possibly the reason I wish someone could explain why.

Can a intake manifold gasket cause antifreeze to leake?
Yes. Antifreeze is actually pumped through the intake manifold. If the gasket is bad it is possible that it leaks out
Why does my 1997 Mitsubishi Gallant have white smoke under the hood and green liquid on the parts under the hood?
IT sounds like oil is dripping on the exuast manifold check valve cover gasket. The green liquid is probably antifreeze coming from a water hose.
What parts will you need to change head gaskets on a 93 mustang cobra?
You will need a new set of head gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, intake manifold gasket, new thermostat, 2 gallons of antifreeze, 2 gallons of distilled water, and any hose that may need replacing.
You have 1998 Astro van and have an antifreeze leak you have checked and replaced all the belts Where could it be coming from?
If it has the 4.3 ltr engine, the intake manifold is notorious for leaking at the back of the engine where you cannot see it. Try using a mirror at the rear of the intake manifold and look for wetness. Replacing the gaskey is the best fix.
Manifold fitting should be repaired by?
replacing the fittings
Were would antifreeze leak from a 1997 pathfinder intake manifold it looks like its not coming from the manifold gasket?
The manifold itself could be cracked. I have a 2000 Pathfinder LE with 100k miles and a 3.3. I noticed an antifreeze leak on the right side of the top of the engine. Using a mirror, I found that under the manifold, there was a nice crack.
Do you need to remove the intake manifold when replacing the exhaust manifold on jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0?
Yes.
What would cause antifreeze to be where your spark plugs are in a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis?
Intake manifold gaskets are leaking, intake manifold is warped.
Why does an intake manifold have to be replaced?
Because it 's leaking- OIL, ANTIFREEZE, or vacume leak
Antifreeze leaks along the valve covers?
Could be the intake manifold gaskets are leaking.
If your intake manifold gasket is no good will antifreeze leak out?
Yes, you need to replace your intake gaskets.
Antifreeze is leaking from the intake manifold what causes this?
most time it is caused by intake gasket failure
