I think that's correct - 2001/2002/2003 are 1,2,&3 cylinder models of that series of Volvos.

And to add to PBs point- engines that have sat unused for long periods of time can have compression issues because the rings can stick in the piston head and not seal on the cylinder wall properly. You could be better off with a well maintained motor that's been run regularly (and has hours on it) than an old low hour engine.
