main reason is you'd need a hefty motor to do it... like 8-10 hp!!
you might be able to get away with it for the scavenge pumps, but not for the pressure side of things.
as well, since the engines oil demand (and scavenge demand) will increase with revs, its kinda easier to just run it from the crank. electric motors stil have engine drag becuase they draw power, so the alternator puts more drag on the crank.. or the battery goes flat...
i've been thinking that you could make something up with the external oil pumps that are on some motors... if you get multiple plates to make them thicker, or make extra stages, could work out a bit cheaper... for the pump at least..

Is there any reason you couldn't use an electric pump (eliminating engine drag) for this? At least to drive the pump, would also be able to be mounted anywhere, not need to be attached to the engine.
