97 Accord overheated

The story is my uncle's accord engine overheated and his radiator cracked under the pressure. I'm currently trying to save it from getting thrown out so please help me. I recently changed the radiator and the thermostat is reading just finely. However, it constantly shakes even in park and neutral. I don't know if this is enough detail, but what can I check to bring this car back to life?

Typhoonk is an unknown quantity at this point
well i don't know what's wrong with the car, nor can i explain the shaking. but since no one else has responded, i'll just post my previous situation. anyway my radiator cracked, too, but it was due to a faulty thermostat. it kept this fluid switch closed so the coolant wasn't moving. also my fan wasn't working either so i replaced that too along with all the hoses since its easy when the system is already drained. anyway, when the thermostat was broken, the car would overheat from driving for prolonged periods. when the fan was broken, the car would overheat while idling in traffic.

if i remember, that fluid switch kinda looked like a butterfly throttle valve and i may have replaced that too. anyway, hope u can fix it. sorry if this doesn't help
