Is it really your engine shaking? Did you drive with the hood off and saw the engine shaking? Maybe your wheels are out of balance and/or you have bent rims.

LOL!

Deffinitely try getting an alignment, new rims (maybe your rims are warped/bent), or brakes before going into thinking your engine shakes.

warped or glazed rotors are the most common one. bent rims, bad alignments, uneven tire ware makes it shake, but not enough to where most people notice it.

rubber housing in the motor mounts may cause uneven power delivery to wheels perhaps

The lady at my dealership told me that my motor mount needs replacing, I said OK, when I picked up the car she said I would notice an increase in the torque output, I made a face
