The Simca Type 342 and 345 Engines were four-cylinder OHV engines, produced from 1963 through 1975, and used in the Simca mid-size 1501/1301 chassis. It was developed and produced by Simca in the early 1960s to be used in the Simca 1500.

The engine was originally designed in a 1475 cc form (known as the Type 342), but was later reduced to a 1290 cc form (known as the Type 345) to replace the old 1.3 litre rush engine in the 1301 models in 1969.
