It seems to be much easier in your case to calculate the needed MD box
dimensions by hand and edit your conf.gro (last line). You have mass
of the box and you have the desired density, so the volume =
mass/density.

You may use spc216.gro as a starting point for all 3-opint waters. As
MD runs, SPC "will become" TIP3P or other one based on the data in ITP
topology file.
