Where can i get 1/4npt threaded fittings with a 1/2 barb? Trying to change out my barbs on my white water block so it can use 1/2 tubing coming off it.

Good luck.. usually 1/2 barb = 1/2npt... The flow would be killed through a 1/4" fitting so why bother?

I don't think those fittings are npt as they use an o-ring. NPT is a tapered fitting, while o-ring fittings are straight threaded. They should be G-1/4". Dtekcustoms has them in stock for 1.99 ea.
