Hahah, just reading this...

difference in sound, no
difference in smell, should be minimal (almost "no") if running right
110 octane... yes-ish
takes longer to burn, burns hotter I think (exhaust valves do not love propane)
BTU's per gallon about 90% of gasoline
You can usually make up for less energetic fuel through timing adjustments or propane specific cam...

Liquid draw tanks (BBQ is vapor draw tank) converted into vapor, delivered at any angle... It's cool stuff for sure...

The only exhaust should be CO2 (again, if running right), so yes/no on the "breath exhaust all day long" piece... CO2 is still an asphixiate.
(It will displace the oxygen that you need to live, well, that most need to live)

I have a 425 that needs rebuilt, bought it when I was going to go C3H8 but plans changed... couple of throttle plates too I believe... I gave all my tanks to CW...

btw, just for fun youtube "BLEVE" (pronounced 'BLEV-EE)
